.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_set_sender()\fR
configures the default sender service name to use for outgoing messages\&. The service name specified in the
\fIname\fR
parameter is set on all outgoing messages that are sent on the connection and have no sender set yet, for example through
\fBsd_bus_message_set_sender\fR(3)\&. Note that this function is only supported on direct connections, i\&.e\&. not on connections to a bus broker as the broker will fill in the sender service name automatically anyway\&. By default no sender name is configured, and hence messages are sent without sender field set\&. If the
\fIname\fR
parameter is specified as
\fBNULL\fR
the default sender service name is cleared, returning to the default state if a default sender service name was set before\&. If passed as non\-\fBNULL\fR
the specified name must be a valid unique or well\-known service name\&.
.PP
\fBsd_bus_get_sender()\fR
may be used to query the current default service name for outgoing messages\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer\&. On failure, they return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SS "Errors"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The bus connection has been created in a different process\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-EPERM\fR
.RS 4
The specified bus connection object is a not a direct but a brokered connection\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
\fBlibsystemd\fR\ \&\fBpkg-config\fR(1)
file\&.
